Zoe Luxe represents a substantial detached villa currently under construction in Benahavís, Málaga. The property occupies a generous 2,956 m² plot in an elevated inland position, offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean and surrounding mountains. With 527 m² of built space distributed across four bedrooms and five bathrooms, the villa combines contemporary architecture with its natural setting. The property's orientation to the east captures morning sunlight across its terraces and living spaces.
Compared to other developments in the region, Zoe Luxe occupies the premium segment with its pricing starting from €3,250,000. This positions it above more accessible options like Acqua Gardens in Estepona (from €418,800) and Aby Upper in Estepona (from €320,000), though it aligns with other luxury properties such as the Finca de Jasmine Sky Villas in Benahavís (from €2,400,000). What distinguishes this property is its combination of substantial plot size, panoramic views, and location within the exclusive Monte Mayor community with its preserved natural surroundings. While Estepona developments offer easier access to beaches and town amenities, Benahavís provides a more tranquil, golf-focused environment with greater privacy and natural surroundings. The property's elevated position delivers both superior views and a slightly cooler microclimate than coastal alternatives, making it particularly appealing to those seeking a balance between accessibility and seclusion within the Costa del Sol region.
Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The villa is positioned within the exclusive Monte Mayor community in Benahavís, a mountain village situated between Marbella, Estepona, and Ronda. At 174 metres above sea level, the property benefits from elevated views while remaining 7 kilometres from the coastline. The location is characterised by low building density and over 300 hectares of preserved natural surroundings.
The property accommodates the need for spacious living with four well-proportioned bedrooms and five bathrooms, including ensuite facilities. The layout incorporates both private and social spaces, with a designated utility room and fitted wardrobes providing practical storage solutions. The east-facing orientation delivers natural morning light throughout the main living areas.
Currently under construction, the villa represents new development within the established Monte Mayor area. The building status allows for potential customisation opportunities during the construction phase. The contemporary architectural design incorporates modern building techniques and materials, with completion anticipated within the standard timeframe for properties of this scale in the region.
The inland location necessitates reliance on private transportation for daily activities. Public transport options are limited to one bus line with a single stop in the vicinity. The property's elevated position and natural terrain may not be suitable for those with significant mobility restrictions. The area's preserved natural environment means commercial amenities require travel to neighbouring towns.
This property would particularly suit those seeking a substantial permanent residence in an exclusive yet natural setting. The four-bedroom configuration makes it suitable for families or those who regularly host guests. Golf enthusiasts would benefit from the exceptional access to multiple premier courses, all within a short drive. The property's security within a gated community, combined with its privacy and extensive grounds, also makes it appealing to those valuing discretion and tranquillity. For international buyers, the proximity to both Málaga and Gibraltar airports (approximately 45-50 kilometres) facilitates convenient travel connections. The property might also appeal to those wishing to combine primary living with occasional rental during peak seasons, given the area's strong tourism infrastructure and proximity to luxury destinations like Marbella and Puerto Banús.
The villa showcases contemporary construction methods with high-quality materials throughout. Underfloor heating provides efficient and comfortable temperature control, supplemented by both hot and cold air conditioning systems for year-round comfort. Double glazing enhances thermal and acoustic insulation, while fibre optic connectivity ensures modern technological infrastructure. The specification includes fitted wardrobes with quality finishes, and ensuite bathrooms designed with premium fixtures. The outdoor spaces feature a private swimming pool integrated into the landscape design, with covered terraces providing sheltered areas for outdoor living. The east-facing orientation has been carefully considered to maximise natural light while minimising excessive heat gain during summer months.
With a price point starting from €3,250,000, this villa represents the premium segment of Benahavís real estate. The pricing reflects the property's substantial plot size of 2,956 m², the 527 m² of built space, and its position within the exclusive Monte Mayor development. When compared to similar properties in the area, such as the Finca de Jasmine Sky Villas (from €2,400,000), this villa occupies the higher end of the market, justified by its scale, views, and premium finishing specifications.
Daily life at Zoe Luxe would centre around enjoying the extensive indoor and outdoor spaces. Morning coffee on the east-facing terrace would capture the first light of the day over the Mediterranean, with the private pool offering a refreshing option during warmer months. The substantial plot provides privacy and tranquillity, with the landscaped garden creating a natural extension of the living spaces. Golf enthusiasts would appreciate the proximity to several prestigious courses, with the Marbella Club Golf Resort just 1.6 kilometres away. Evenings might be spent on the private terrace or solarium, taking advantage of the panoramic views. The rural setting offers a peaceful retreat from the busier coastal areas, while still being within reasonable distance of essential services and leisure facilities.
The villa's location in Benahavís offers a balance between rural tranquillity and accessibility to amenities. Essential services, including a supermarket (4.7 km) and pharmacy (3.5 km), are within a short drive, while the hospital is 5.5 kilometres away. The area maintains its authentic Spanish character with local restaurants and cafés within a 2-kilometre radius. For more extensive shopping, dining, and entertainment options, the coastal destinations of Marbella and Puerto Banús are reachable within 15-20 minutes by car. The surrounding landscape provides numerous opportunities for outdoor activities, with several viewpoints, sports facilities, and natural areas to explore. The 25 local sports facilities include the Pabellon Municipal de Deportes and municipal swimming pools, offering recreational options beyond the property's own amenities.
